Patients without insurance are offered a sliding fee scale and are expected to pay their portion of the bill. Community Health Alliance offers the most flexible payment plans available anywhere, and will work with any patient in need of a friendly repayment schedule.

In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
